Chapter 556: Chapter 25: Mad Escape

“Whimper, Senior Brother Lin, are we going to die? It’s all Hanying’s fault that I dragged you down.”

Hanying Qiu burst into tears, clung tightly to Lin Feng, her delicate body trembling.

…

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen, we can definitely escape,” Lin Feng consoled Hanying Qiu.

But Lin Feng knew that to escape, he had first to be able to move.

The killing intent of the Three-legged Golden Crow was terrifying.

The killing intent, despite the distance, enveloped him and Hanying Qiu, making it almost impossible for them to move.

It seemed they could only wait for death.

“Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.”

In the moment of crisis, Lin Feng operated the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, and the Ancient Dragon Elephant Power surged within his body, instantly causing the terrifying killing intent that loomed over them to disappear without a trace.

Indeed, the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique was worthy of being the Ancient First Forbidden Divine Skill.

Joy appeared on Lin Feng’s face, and without hesitating, he activated his Golden Body Feathered Wings, flying rapidly into the distance.

…

“Ah, we can move now!” Hanying Qiu said with great surprise and relief. She thought she was going to die at the hands of the Three-legged Golden Crow just now.

“Hold on to me!” said Lin Feng.

Hanying Qiu, with a flushed face, nodded and hugged Lin Feng’s neck tightly, burying her head in his chest. Her cheeks turned so red they could drip blood, for this was her first time having such close contact with a man.

However, Hanying Qiu found that she did not dislike this feeling.

Her body clung tightly to Lin Feng, feeling the warmth of his body, which gave her a sense of security of being protected.

Naturally, Lin Feng did not know what Hanying Qiu was thinking at the moment. He was focused on quickly escaping the pursuit of the Three-legged Golden Crow.

Fortunately, it was only one adult Three-legged Golden Crow that was pursuing them.

If there were several of them, the trouble would be even bigger.

Endless flames burned the sky, the terrifying killing intent of the Three-legged Golden Crow emanated from behind, sweeping across heaven and earth.

This Three-legged Golden Crow was too frightening, giving Lin Feng a chill from head to foot.

The two sides, one fleeing, the other pursuing, were gradually closing the gap in speed.

“No good, with a person along, my speed has drastically reduced. At this rate, we’ll eventually be caught.”

Lin Feng’s expression grew slightly grave.

If he were alone, with his speed, Lin Feng was confident he could easily escape the Three-legged Golden Crow, but the key was he wasn’t alone–he had Hanying Qiu.

Hanying Qiu also saw the Three-legged Golden Crow getting closer, and with a pale face, she said, “Senior Brother, you should drop me and run for yourself, otherwise, we both will die at the hands of the Three-legged Golden Crow.”

“Foolish girl, what are you saying? Even if we die, we will die together.” Lin Feng smiled.

Tears welled up in Hanying Qiu’s eyes, and she buried her little head in Lin Feng’s neck, nodding vigorously.

“Phew…”

Behind them, the Three-legged Golden Crow was less than five hundred meters away–its ferocity undeterred by the distance, unleashing fierce and robust attacks on Lin Feng.

The Three-legged Golden Crow spat out balls of flame, hurling them towards Lin Feng.

Previously, Lin Feng had been hit by such flame balls from juvenile Three-legged Golden Crows and had felt his qi-blood in turmoil and severe pain all over his body.

Not to mention being hit by an adult Three-legged Golden Crow’s flame balls–such an impact would undoubtedly result in death.

With rapid flaps of his Golden Body Feathered Wings, Lin Feng carried Hanying Qiu, dodging left and right in midair.

One after another, the powerful fireballs roared past Lin Feng, hitting the forest and destroying vast swathes of it–a single fireball exploded and created a several-hundred-meter deep crater in the forest.

Lin Feng involuntarily sucked in a breath of cool air.

Wasn’t this attack too fierce?

“Quick…”

Lin Feng inhaled deeply and accelerated to his maximum speed.

But this kind of consumption was also enormous, and he felt the True Qi inside his body rapidly decreasing.

The Three-legged Golden Crow’s speed did not slow down, swiftly following behind them.

The situation was extremely dangerous, and Lin Feng felt that it wouldn’t be long before the Three-legged Golden Crow would catch up with him and Qiu Hanying.

“Brother Feng, look, there’s a lake ahead.”

Qiu Hanying pointed to the distance, and now her way of addressing Lin Feng had changed from “Senior Brother Lin” to “Brother Feng,” perhaps because the affectionate words Lin Feng had just spoken had greatly brought their relationship much closer.

“The Three-legged Golden Crow is a Flame Spirit and fears water!”

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up slightly, and he sped up towards the lake.

Now, Lin Feng only regretted not knowing the Water-Repelling Technique; if he knew such a secret technique or had treasures like the Water-Repelling Pearl, he could have dived deep into the lake to avoid the pursuit of the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The Three-legged Golden Crow saw Lin Feng rush into the lake, visibly became much more agitated, and spewed out a large number of fireballs towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng awkwardly dodged but still got hit by one fireball.

“Go.”

Lin Feng quickly summoned a Defensive Magic Artifact to protect himself.

However, the fireball blasted on the Defensive Magic Artifact, which couldn’t withstand the power of the fireball and exploded, the repercussions harshly slamming onto Lin Feng’s back, leaving his back a bloody mess. Lin Feng was knocked into the air and tumbled over a dozen times before he managed to stabilize himself.

“Blood, all blood, wuu wuu wuu, Brother Feng, how are you?”

Qiu Hanying felt the wetness on Lin Feng’s back, took her hand away to look, and saw it was all blood-stained, her face pale both from heartache and worry.

“Silly girl, it’s just superficial injuries, I’m fine.”

Lin Feng comforted Qiu Hanying, gritted his teeth, and continued rushing deeper into the lake.

The Three-legged Golden Crow was getting closer, and Lin Feng suddenly felt as if a great disaster was upon him; was he really going to be killed by the Three-legged Golden Crow?

At that moment, he saw a mountain peak appearing ahead.

This mountain peak rose from within the lake.

A vast cave appeared in their sight.

Lin Feng faintly felt that something terrifying might be lurking deep inside the cave.

“Rather than waiting for death, let’s take a chance.”

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and rushed into the cave, with the Three-legged Golden Crow quickly following behind.

Soon Lin Feng rushed into the depths of the cave and saw a vast abyss appear before him, below which rippled the waters of the lake, this part of the mountain somehow connected with the lake.

“This is the terrain of the ‘Azure Dragon Spitting Pearls.'”

Lin Feng suddenly recalled the ‘Dragon Seeking Technique’ which mentioned the Azure Dragon Spitting Pearls.

Born in the Nine Heavens, the Azure Dragon grew up in the Immortal Lake and spat pearls into the lake, symbolizing supremacy.

The mountain peak appearing in the lake’s center was a manifestation of the Azure Dragon Spitting Pearls terrain. Such places, often rich in Spiritual Energy, were suitable for cultivation.

Behind them, the Three-legged Golden Crow continued its pursuit as Lin Feng, holding Qiu Hanying, rushed downwards.

The Three-legged Golden Crow spewed a sky full of fireball rains, pelting Lin Feng and Qiu Hanying like a fiery downfall.

At this critical life and death moment.

Suddenly, from within the abyss, a huge shadow appeared.

“Roar.”

A roar shook the heavens, and a massive creature burst out. It was a pitch-black giant Python, a hundred meters long with three ferocious heads, which opened its massive mouth to spew out a vast cloud of water vapor, engulfing the flames spewed by the Three-legged Golden Crow.

This was a triple-headed Black Demon Python, a terrifying being with the bloodline of an Ancient Fierce Beast.

Both the attacks from the Three-legged Golden Crow and the triple-headed Black Demon Python were extremely terrifying, trapping Lin Feng and Qiu Hanying in a nearly fatal situation, their faces extremely pale.

In this critical moment, Lin Feng spotted a cave about two meters in diameter not far away. Although small, it was sufficient for Lin Feng and Qiu Hanying to squeeze in for cover.

Woosh.

Lin Feng pushed his speed to the limit and swiftly dived into the cave with Qiu Hanying.

Bang…

They had just entered the cave, the triple-headed Black Demon Python and Three-legged Golden Crow’s earth-shattering attacks fiercely collided, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently, as if it was about to collapse.
